Stuffed Portobello With Leftovers

At times, I just don't know what to cook and I will just look into the fridge and will be looking inside it for at least 10-15 minutes....believe me, I get cool air for a short 15 minutes :p Trying to cook something nice out of whatever is left in the fridge is not easy at times. I can just gaze into the fridge yet cannot think of anything... I saw some portobello, some crab meat, some bacon chips , a small block of mozzarella cheese and some what not...haha then an idea just came to me. Why not stuff the portobello with whatever leftovers there are in the fridge. Why not ? So , this is what comes out of them after 15 minutes of gazing into the fridge :) Stuffed portobello would be great for they are the most meaty compared with other mushrooms. At times, I would like to make something without a recipe. No recipe food would be great at times :)

Chopped up a piece chicken breast, diced bacon chips, diced one quater piece of aubergine, diced shrimps, diced the mozzarela and crab meat. Mixed with one egg yolk, seasoned with white pepper and salt and I added some panko into the mixture. Stirred together till the mixture become sticky and hold together. Stuff the portobello with the mixture . Greased the baking sheet with olive oil, place the stuffed portobello on it and sprinkle extra japanese bread crumbs on the surface of portobello and baked in a preheated oven at 180C for 30 minutes or till crispy brown and cooked . Serve this as appetizer or as a side with a dollop of wasabi...yummm yummy.

Amazing that you can create a wonderful dish like this one just by your left overs in the fridge. Thank you for giving me an idea for my just bought portobellos. You made me laughed, because I'm like that too, I just open the fridge and stare and stare and you get at least some cool air. Cheers!
